Thanks to Gene Zimmerman, and others who corrected my mistake regarding 
VUCC. I've redrawn my maps this morning with a 100km circle around my home 
QTH. That insures that any contacts made from within that radius will count 
along with grids worked from my home QTH.

/Portable operation is out of the question, since limiting myself to 10 
watts of power isn't going to help the grid totals. Even roving may be a 
waste of time, since it seems unlikely that I'll pick up many new grids in 
the process. Instead, I may concentrate on getting WSJT working on the rig 
I'm taking and seek to maximize contacts on 2 Meters from a quiet, clear 
spot.

Lots to consider, and many locations to scout before making a final 
decision.

As always thanks for the advice.

73,
